A Message to Austin Knightly Regarding Your REAL Father

Austin, I know you are aware Junior isn't your REAL Father, thank's to St. Charles Children's Home, who traumatized you even more by telling you that when Junior refused custody of you. All those year's you thought Junior was your Father and then abandoned you and left you behind, letting you feel unwanted and more hurt than you already were.
The reason I'm writing to you, is I felt you have the right to know, your REAL Father passed away a few week's ago in Honduras. His name was Ricardo Arturo Gamez. I know you don't remember him, but he was in your life for the first three months after your birth. He was deported back to Honduras and was not allowed back to claim you as his son. He was also never contacted when the State took you from your family, even though they knew where he was. And yes, you were adopted illegally after DCYF and the NH Family Court's terminated the rights of a man they knew was not your Father.
Your Father wanted to be a part of your life, but wasn't allowed to. He loved you and wanted nothing more than to raise his son.
I just wanted you to know all of this, because I'm sure the stranger's who are raising you, nor the State of NH will tell you anything about your REAL Father. I'm sorry you will never get to meet your Father, other than the time you spent together as a newborn. Some day you two will meet again and the State won't be able to screw that up.
If there's anything you want to know, just message me. I'm sure you're on the computer these day's and that you have many questions. If you want the TRUTH, your REAL Family are the only ones who will give it to you. No-one else. You are everyone else's meal ticket.

Love always, Grammy

New Hampshire's Backward Judicial System

Today on the News, I heard about a Father from Keene, NH who pled guilty in 2012 to simple assault on his then-6-month-old child, breaking the boy's leg while trying to get him into a chair.     http://www.wmur.com/news/keene-man-accused-of-injuring-2yearold-child/28106140

He has now been charged with felony second-degree assault on the boy. 
Investigators said he grabbed his son, Tristan, but the head, squeezed him and threw him to the floor. Police said the boy struck his face and head on a table, causing cuts, bumps and bruises.          http://www.wmur.com/news/man-arraigned-on-charge-of-assaulting-2yearold-child/28123030
For the life of me, I don't understand HOW or WHY NH DCYF and the NH Family Court's left that little boy with an admitted child abuser. He broke the child's leg the first time and somehow, for some ungodly reason, this Father was given a second chance to raise his son, while many other parent's lose their children for so much less. No physical abuse, no emotional abuse. Only frivolous stupid reason's, many times false to begin with. And then you have the children that are stolen because the DCYF psychic's believe the parent's will Neglect the child in the Future. Those parent's, whether they've done anything wrong or not, never get a second chance. Their children are stolen by the State, adopted out to stranger's, never to be seen again.

This man  admitted he physically abused his son and spent a whole six month's in jail for breaking his child's leg. So WHY was he still living in the same home with his son?

While other parent's who are guilty of nothing, lose their children forever and are treated worse than convicted criminal's, this guy get's the chance of a lifetime. A chance he should never have been given to begin with.

Head's should definitely roll for this screw up!
